Ceremony at Holy Family Catholic Church
Reception at Gaylord Opryland Hotel
I always have a camera in my hand on the wedding day --- that's what I'm getting paid for, right?! It might as well be duct taped to me, because it does not get put down at all. By the end of the day it sometimes looks as if someone had punched me in the eye. It's because of this that I am able to get those shots that are perfect, and could never be staged.
I am the Photo Ninja, and they called me that all day and night ;). I strike when they don't suspect a thing. My wife Christina has been trained in the ninja ways as well. And gets fabulous shots of the ladies, while I am working with the guys.
It was extremely hard to pick out just a few images to post here. I love my work, and would love to put up hundreds more if I could.

The resulting images convey great emotion. You can see the absolute joy, love, and fun that, in this instance, Erin, Brian, their attendants, family and guests had at this wedding. It was a blast, and we had a great time ourselves.

No words needed. It was a moment that they can now treasure forever.

Erin and Brian's wedding party were a lot of fun, and happy to jump right in when a photo opportunity presented itself. It was just a wee bit hot that day. I would have jumped in myself - and have on other occasions :)

The reception was über elegant -
and these people knew how to party! ...actually, I think they invented it ;)
Here are a few from the rehearsal dinner which I usually attend as well (mmmm...food!)
Congratulations Erin and Brian!!! We had a great time, but nowhere near the fun you look like you had!

I consider it an honor when I am commissioned to do a couple's wedding. I know there are a lot of choices out there, and it is a big decision. They have trusted me with taking care of their memories. I take my job seriously, I have fun doing it, and I think it shows in the final product.
